We’ll leverage digital technology to grow Abia economy – Otti
Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, has said his administration is passionate about taking advantage of the opportunities provided by digital technology in managing the state’s economy.
Otti stated this while addressing participants of Study Group 7, Senior Executive Course 46 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru Jos, who are on a study tour and fact-finding mission to Abia State.
Commending the participants for the choice of Abia for the tour, Governor Otti described the study theme: ‘Digital Economy, Youth Empowerment and Sustainable Job Creation in Nigeria: Issues, Challenges and Opportunities,’ as key, noting that any organisation that fails to key into the digital space will be left behind.
He averred, “In a few days, we will be one year in office, so the things we have in stock, we’re just unfolding them. Somehow, I feel we’re at the dress rehearsal stages. We’re still at the building stage in terms of the digital economy, I can assure you that by the time you come back to the State in about one or two years, you will see that all the work we’re doing behind the scenes would have been rolled out and our people will begin to leverage on digital technology to push the economy.”
